Subject: Problems with airo/airo_cs since test4-bk2

Since test4-bk2 I've still had increasing problems with the
airo/airo_cs driver... test4-bk2 operates but generates an awful lot of
frame errors... I've tried test5-bk1 , bk3 and bk5 and they fail to even
be able to associate with the AP at all and totally unusable... As soon
as the driver and/or card are removed it causes an oops unlike earlier
test versions which would just lock the whole machine up...

Has anyone else been noticing these problems with a Cisco Aironet 350?
I've got it in a Sony Vaio PCG-C1MWP and use it on two networks which
use either a LinkSys WAP11 or an Orinoco AP-1000 with the same
results...

Regards,
Jeremy

i have a cisco 340 in my thinkpad t21 that has been fine so far
(especially after Rusty fixed the detection problems)

Hmm... with test4-bk2 I have on the average twice as many frame errors
as I do packets being sent it seems... The test5-bk[135] I've tried
won't even associate with the APs... I would think it was a problem with
the AP but it's two different AP units (brands and models) as well it
worked fine with the older 2.4.20 kernel...
